GW's generic announcement of their price hike at the end of May of last year. I had to really dig on their site to find this, and I haven't been able to find a similar one for this year's hike.
This is going to sound like belly-aching, but I just want to make sure that no one gets blind-sided by this. News coming in from independent retailers is that Games Workshop has sent around a message detailing products that are going to have their prices increased in June. The complete list of price increases can be found in the BoLS Lounge.
Price hikes are lame, and I think we can all agree on that. They're lamer still when they come out of nowhere with no warning. So, though the adequate response to a price hike should be a buying freeze, if you need to get some GW product right now, best to buy it soon before it goes up, and best to buy it from an independent retailer who offers a %-off and makes sure less cash flows into the company coffers.
Alright. Flame off. Consider yourselves advised. I promise I'll get back to making fun things now...
I'd wish that maybe if they cut model production and mayb even cut 1 codex out of the year then we wouldn't need these price hikes, I'd gladly accept. Sure we might miss a few awesome kits but in the long run I'd hopefully save money...o well good thing my doctor sallary will keep me afloat for now.
